Rain Without Thunder (1993)

In this faux documentary set in the year 2042, a reporter interviews a mother and her college-aged daughter who are imprisoned for having sought an abortion in Sweden. While very dated and somewhat cheaply made, this film hits hard in the current United States. The reporter also interviews other individuals, including a Roman Catholic priest, feminists, and the prosecutor in the case, who provide context to how a country supposedly built on freedom and liberty slid so far into a totalitarian state. The film isn’t great as a piece of entertainment or art, but it does serve as a huge warning sign of how easily rights can be eroded on little piece at a time.
